And Faith posted this pic of Kimmy with the caption, "@lilkimthequeenbee making it do what it do! #hits #whatsbeef #thatishisplayedout #wegrown #teamfizzy #teamprolific #incomparablealbum" Nice! No beef any longer.

Here is how Snoop is getting ready in his dressing room. And you know it involves Mary Jane:

And another clip from soundcheck below:

 

The concert is about to go down, scheduled to kick off at 8pm ET. 

 

In a new video....

 

 

Drake debuts a new short film titled "Jungle", commemorating the sixth anniversary of his breakout mixtape So Far Gone. Shot in Toronto and L.A., it opens with wise commentary from the Toronto rapper about his lifestyle, fame and everything in between.  It also includes throwback videos of Drake spitting bars as a kid and premieres some new music from the Young Money rapper. Sounds like Drake is about to drop some new tunes. Check it above.

 

Speaking of Drake....

CEO of Houston-based Rap-a-Lot Records J. Prince has a few threatening words for Diddy, Birdman and Suge Knight! You may recall an alleged brawl between Diddy and Drake outside of Liv at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami back in December.

In the audio, dubbed a “courtesy call” with an accompanying beat in the background, J. Prince warns anyone who touches Drake will have to deal with him. He said, “First of all Puffy, feeling like he can put his hands on my family, opens the doors for his family to be touched.”

He then sent out a warning to Suge Knight “calling him Suga Bear” and said he’s his worst nightmare. Following, he had some disrespectful things to say about Cash Money honchos Birdman and Slim. Lordt! Check it above.

[UPDATE]: Drake just dropped a brand new mixtape.

Celebs are already out and about before a super busy weekend.  Check out Chris Brown, Tracee Ellis Ross, Common and Vivica Fox inside...

Chris Brown and artist KAI collaborated at SPACEBY3 during Fine Art Auctions Miami's Urban Art Week today.  Breezy threw on his white overalls and got down to business doing one of his passions that keeps him out of trouble: Graffiti art.

The singer often shows off his work around his house and in different communities on his Instagram.  And it's good to see him putting his talents to good use:

As for his Between the Sheets tour, while his March 3rd date has been cancelled (likely due to low tcket sales), he's finished his community service and the tour with Tyga and Trey Songz may be back on.

 

In the cold streets of New York:

Tracee Ellis Ross donned a few jewel tones for a fabulous look as she headed out for the day.  The "blackish" star was likely headed to do some promo before she changed clothes to hit the fashion shows that kicked off New York Fashion Week today.

And speaking of press rounds:

Actress Vivica A. Fox was spotted outside of NBC STUDIOS in Rockefeller Center in NYC yesterday.  The newly fired "Celebrity Apprentice" star was spotted grabbing lunch at DEL FRISCO'S GRILLE in a Helen Yarmak fur, Gucci python bag and mirrored Jimmy Choo shoes!  Are we feeling her coral jumpsuit that's channeling spring?

Also in New York,  Oscar nominee Common was spotted leaving the Trump Soho hotel and headed over to the NBA All-Star Celebrity game practice.  That man knows he can make a sweatshirt look good...

Before taking her seat inside, Rihanna was spotted in her oversized winter coat (It's literally FREEZING in NYC) leaving the 1 World Trade Center (The Freedom Tower) as she made her way to the event.

She later took it off and showed off her black and blue denim dress for the evening. Very...RiRi.

It was a total star-studded affair for the unveiling on Kanye West’s YEEZY 750 BOOST sneakers in collaboration with Adidas Originals. Kicking off the first day of New York Fashion Week, Yeezy brought out a slew of his celebs friends to celebrate his creative “genius” behind his brand new venture in the fashion world.

Known to join her fashion loving parents at all the hottest runway shows, North West was front and center as well. But as you can see, Nori was NOT here for what was going on in front of her. Anna Wintour’s face says it all. Ha!

 photo willa6.png

Kim's little sister Kylie Jenner served as one of Kanye's models. Hmm...no Tyga?

Yeezy's artists and friends 2 Chainz, Justin Bieber, Big Sean and Pusha T were also in the mix.

 

 

Backstage....

Again, she wasn't for the madness as she tried to play on an iPhone, but ended up throwing another fit. Poor Nori.

But dad seemed to have made it better.

Ye even stopped to snap a pic with his G.O.O.D. artist 2 Chainz.

During his unveiling, Yeezy debuted a brand new track titled “Wolves” featuring Sia and Vic Mensa and produced by Sinjin Hawke & Cashmere Cat. It appears the audio was taped during one of the theater screenings (in 42 theaters around the globe) of the event. Check out the auto-tune (which has become a staple for Ye) above.

Afterwards.....

Mr. Carter held on tight to Mrs. Carter's hand as they made their fashionable exit from the show. We are LOVING Bey's look, straight from the Harbison S/S15 collection. Work!

Later tonight....

Yeezy will also be performing a free-concert tonight in the Flatiron section of Manhattan, organized by Roc Nation. OKC baller Kevin Durant is expected to make an appearance as well. It's set to kick off at 8PM ET and will be streamed online. Peep the trailer above.

Carmelo Anthony hosted a party at Santina underneath the High Line in New York Thursday night to kick off Fashion week.  The Knicks baller rocked a grey, two button notch lapel jacket, navy turtleneck, and grey trousers all by Ermenegildo Zegna Couture.  And LaLa kept it catty and sexy in a leopard plunging gown.

But that was only one of her many changes of the day:

  photo ScreenShot2015-02-12at93411PM_zpsfc9502ac.png

She braved the arctic temps in a cobalt blue croptop and skirt with a cream duster coat to hit up a couple shows.

Jhene Aiko kept it sophisticated in an Honor NYC look as she hit the shows.

She doesn't just wear the Forever 21 ethereal look everyday, she dresses it up when she needs to.

Ciara and her ring sipped coffee at Ralph's in New York as she rocked head to toe Polo.

And then THIS weirdness happened.  But it was all in the name of art.  Actress Tracee Ellis Ross (as Madame Hiver) attended the Rachel Comey fashion show at Pioneer Works Center for Arts & Innovation on Thursday.  And the "Blackish" star didn't hold back on channeling her a boozy character invented and played, convincingly, by Tracee Ellis Ross herself:

YOUNG MONEY DRAMA: Drake Disses Tyga On Surprise New Mixtape, Tyga Claps Back + Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill Heading Out On A Co-Headline Tour

Remember a few months ago when Tyga revealed he doesn't get along with former YMCMB labelmates Drake or Nicki Minaj?  Well Drake just came for him on his new mixtape.  And Tyga isn't having it.  Deets inside, plus news about a brand new tour for Nicki Minaj and her rumored boo Meek Mill...

While you were sleeping, NYC was on fire with Fashion Week kickoff events, NBA All Star events, a Diddy and Snoop concert, a Kanye West concert.....and then the world received a present from Drake: A surprise mixtape.

It's called If You're Reading This It's Too Late.  And he's holding back nothing on the 17-track project.  He talks about all his enemies on the "Energy" track...and then there's that "6PM In New York" track.  He talked about rappers who call the paparazzi to show off their outfits.  And then he said this:

 photo IMG_1709_zps585fe6df.jpg

Yep...a diss at Tyga that alluded to his underaged girlfriend Kylie Jenner.  So Tyga popped back on Twitter, and deleted it.  But we've got the screenshot:

 photo IMG_1710_zps11769886.jpg

Ish is getting real...

 

 photo ScreenShot2015-02-13at83028AM_zps27a10c55.png

Speaking of the Young Money camp, Nicki Minaj is making the news this morning due to a tour she just tipped off the media about.  And yes, it's all in partnership with her rumored boo Meek Mill.

Nicki posted the above pic recently saying:

Why do ppl invest so much time & energy into other peoples' lives? Spend your time planning your future and living your dreams.

So why is she voluntarily posting publicly about this personal life she wants the public to stop commenting about?  Well, we've learned she and Meek Mill are working on a co-headlining tour.  And the first show is this Saturday, Valentine's Day, in NYC. 

 photo 0212-micki-minaj-meek-mills-flyer-ny-1_zps68d9f3bc.jpg

Hmph.

TMZ reports they're billing themselves as the "Hottest Rap Couple", and they have another performance date later this month in Charlotte.  And then there's this:

We're told the couple wanted to do it together so they could, y'know -- make twice as much cheese touring as a package deal. Also, it's easier to hook up this way.

Although they're co-headlining ... make no mistake, Nicki's the bigger draw -- and we're told she's getting paid almost double what Meek makes.

Were they friends before all the tour talk? Absolutely.  Is it possible Nicki and Meek parlayed the friendship into making the public think they're dating in order to sell more tickets?  Absolutely.  It's also possible they're legit dating....

Nicki did an interview with Vogue.com recently who asked about their relationship. She responded:

Sometimes we hang out, and when we hang out, we have fun. [laughs] This is what I want to say about him: People think for some strange reason that we just started becoming friends recently. We’ve been friends for a very, very long time, and he’s been around for a lot of things that I’ve gone through. And that’s all I’ll say about that.

She also talked about how she'll live differently this year and have some fun before the tour, after working so hard to get to this point. She said:

This year, I decided that I’m going to live my life. Because I love making music but I need to live my life, and I need to realize that people are going to talk about me no matter what. They don’t know who I am. And it’s kind of sad because I’ve done so much for so many people, but I haven’t taken a moment for Onika. But this year, I’m taking a moment before the tour. I’m going out and having fun because none of this is guaranteed. I’m not living my life for social media and people who don’t know anything about me anymore—for them to give me a stamp of approval. It doesn’t matter to me anymore.

Well this should be interesting...

On a special Valentine's Day edition of "The Real" (airing today), the ladies welcomed "RHOA" stars Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas to dish on their embarrassing pet names, turn ons, and how they fell in love at first sight! Ahh.....

Go behind closed doors with the "Walrus" and "Ostrich".....

Cynthia Bailey: Well, umm, mine for Peter is… Walrus!
Tamar Braxton: Why Walrus?
Cynthia Bailey: Cause he kind of looks like a walrus! But kind of like…

Cynthia Bailey: No but okay, but like a seal.
Loni Love: Okay a seal, that’s cute.
Cynthia Bailey: In that family, in the sea life family.
Peter Thomas: That’s the worst isn’t it? I always tell her from day one that she look like an ostrich.
Tamar Braxton: You know what?!
Loni Love: An ostrich?
Peter Thomas: Working into it, yeah! She usually have her hair short, long neck, and all of this going on. (Smacks her bottom).
Jeannie Mai: I like that! I like that!
Adrienne Bailon: That’s kind of like an elegant compliment.
Tamar Braxton: And at least it’s pet names.

Fellow "RHOA" couple Todd Tucker and Kandi Burruss stopped by "The Steve Harvey Show" were they shared a few laughs with Steve and offered bedroom tips to audience members. 

For some odd reason, Steve asked both Kandi and Todd whom else they'd consider marrying from the RHOA cast. Kandi said she'd pick Gregg because he does everything Nene says. Meanwhile, Todd picked Nene....because Kandi picked Greg (and it was the safest answer).

And if you're looking for some tips to spice up your relationship, the "Bedroom Kandi" creator offered advice on making love when the kids are home and how to sync up with your partner's "freak" number.  Check it....

There's more.....the couple also dished to The Huffington Post about introducing sex toys into the bedroom.

Kandi, as a woman, what are the top three reasons for owning a sex toy?

K.B.: Well, first of all, for a woman, a lot of women can’t really tell their man … ‘cause women always wanna go, “Oh, he’s this.” Or, “He knows what he’s doing.” But a lot of times women don’t know their own bodies and they don’t know how to let someone know exactly what they want or what they like in the bedroom. So I always feel like a woman should have some type of toy, just so she can explore her own body and find her own triggers and then she could share that with whoever her significant other is.

It’s hard for some women to have an orgasm. A lot of people don’t know that a majority of women haven’t experienced an orgasm just from penetration … so it’s just about adding spice to the bedroom and doing something different. Because I think a lot of people, when they’ve been in a relationship for so long, they get so used to the same routine, so if you could just throw something different in there every now and then, I think it’s always better.

Todd, do you have any advice for the guys whose partners want to introduce new toys in the bedroom?

T.T.: I hear guys say a lot of times, “I don’t do that toy thing.” It’s just like, man, it’s fun, it’s stimulating your lady. It’s about her happiness as well as yours, cause you know we gonna get ours regardless. So it’s kind of like, just be open-minded and enjoy it. And know that you’re pleasing your lady. And it’ll be fun… But I think the ladies gotta take their time with it, too. You can’t just come in the bedroom with four toys and be like, “Hey, let’s try something different.” Especially if you know your dude isn’t that open to it. Start off with something that’s not so crazy. ‘Cause I think in some of our communities sex toys are kind of taboo, and “you don’t really do that,” and it’s like, nah, this is what it’s about. Exploring and making your mate happy.

 

Beds will rock in Atlanta tonight......

Last night, Madison Square Garden was on FIRE with performances by many of your fave YBF artists. Diddy rounded up Lil Kim, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Faith Evans MANY more for an epic history-making concert. Peep the pics and videos inside…..

New York is flooded with YBF celebs making their rounds to New York Fashion Week shows and all the festivities for the NBA All-Star Weekend. And to make this weekend even more epic, Diddy and Snoop--bringing together East and West--put on a show that had everyone in the building standing on their feet.  He had a slew of acts he brought to stage for "The Tip-Off" concert at Madison Square Garden, sponsored by Beats By Dre, Adidas and others.

For a surprise performance (and there were many), the Bad Boy honcho was joined on stage by Kanye West. Yeezy has been super busy since he swooped into NYC. Yesterday, he unveiled his new YEEZY 750 BOOST sneakers (that Diddy has on atop) before he hit the stage at the Roc City Classic. And of course, his wife Kim Kardashian West wasn't far behind.

"Blood, Sweat And Heels" Season 2: Fights, Break-ups, Weddings & TWO New Chicks (TRAILER)

 photo blood-sweat-heels.jpg

BRAVO's is gearing up for season 2 of the hit series "Blood, Sweat & Heels" where we'll be guests at a wedding, witness a bedside prayer service and also witness a breakup with a long-term lover. And that's JUST the trailer! Watch it inside...

Thanks to a successful Season 1 (which saw over 2.6 million viewers at its highest), Melyssa Ford, Mica Hughes, Daisy Lewellyn, Demetria Lucas D'Oyley and Geneva S. Thomas are back to pound the pavement with their "Blood, Sweat and Heels." Joined by two new chicks (celebrity stylist Arzo Anwar and entertainment entrepreneur Chantelle Fraser) the NYC ladies are back with more money, more problems, more drama and of course...more fabulous heels.

In the new series' trailer, we see the foundation for two YBF stories among this season's storylines. First, we'll watch "Belle in Brooklyn" Demetria Lucas marry the man she loves and we'll watch journalist Geneva S. Thomas arrested and sent to the slammer. Lordt!

Elsewhere, Mica breakups up with her live-in lover and Daisy faces a life-threatening medical crisis that has her family singing hymns at the hospital.

Bravo sums up the season with the following:

This season, the women will work to balance their work hard, play hard lifestyles as their careers take them to the next level. Fresh off a rocky break-up, Mica struggles to take her business ventures to new heights as things heat up between herself and an unlikely suitor. Recently diagnosed with a life-threatening medical crisis, Daisy faces more obstacles than ever that could potentially interfere with her career goals. Always on the go, Geneva strives to make a name for herself as a journalist, but her friendships are put to the test. Working to reinvent herself and start a new chapter, Melyssa Ford delves into producing a semi-autobiographical musical while Demetria juggles the release of her second book, pending nuptials and the fairytale wedding she will always remember. Fashion maven and self-proclaimed hustler Arzo works to build her fashion brand through her multi-line showroom and is good friends with Melyssa Ford who enjoys having such an entertaining friend around. As the CEO and founder of a premiere talent and entertainment booking company, Chantelle is living the American dream while also managing her busy social calendar.

We're not sure what's all going down drama-wise...but it's DEFINITELY going down. And....we're wondering how that whole bottle-breaking yacht fight between Geneva and Melyssa is going to play out....

 

The ladies of ‪#‎BloodSweatHeels‬ are back Sunday, March 29th @ 9/8c.

Chris Brown has finally completed his required community service hours. And last night, Breezy, Trey Songz and Tyga were able to greenlight their joint “Between the Sheets” tour in Florida. Peep the pics inside….

 photo lowships10.jpg

Breezy fans will certainly be happy to hear this. After multiple delays and a show cancellation, Chris Brown, Trey Songz and Tyga have finally kicked off their joint “Between the Sheets” tour.

The fellas debuted their joint tour at the BB&T Centerin Hollywood, Florida last night. And according to Breezy, it was a SOLD OUT show.

You may or may not have heard, the guys had to cancel a show at Minneapolis' Target Center Arena for "unspecified" reasons. Rumors alleged low ticket sales being the cause, possibly due to Breezy’s looming legal troubles. But, all that is behind them now and it appears the guys are back on track. CB posted to Instagram, "Sold out!!! LONG LIVE THE KING!"
 

 photo hipslow1.jpg

Also, Breezy was forced to reschedule several dates due to not completing his required 1,000 hours of community service (which he picked up at his last probation hearing after violating the terms). But, the “Loyal” singer put in his work and can now travel the country to rock the stage for his fans. The rescheduled dates were moved to March and they will end their tour in Hampton, Virginia (where they were initially scheduled to launch the tour).

Trigga Trey didn't waste any time to get the ladies hot and bothered as he busted out his seductive tunes, including his new hit "Slow Motion".

Hey Trey....

The married couples were out wining & dining and running errands yesterday. Peep the coupledom pics of Ice-T & Coco, Kanye & Kim West and Terrence Howard with his pregnant wife Miranda inside…

Nothing like spending quality time with the one you love right before Valentine's Day. That’s exactly what Ice-T and his wife Coco were busy doing last night.

The 56-year-old former rapper and "SVU" star and his 35-year-old wife spent the evening dining at Madeo’s in Beverly Hills with Ice’s son Tracy Marrow Jr. and his girlfriend.  Coco donned her usual skin tight look, in a LDB with golden safety pins as an accent piece.

 photo camo14.jpg

We’re sure Coco made sure to order as healthy as possible as she has been on a heavy yoga routine lately. On Instagram, the model/actress has been flexin’ her yoga poses all while promoting her new fitness app, "Coco's Workout World".

 photo camo11.jpg

It’s rumored the couple is currently filming for a new drama film titledKing Dog. And it appears they both will have starring roles. Remember her cameo in Think Like A Man 2?  Ha!

Not only that, it’s also rumored the two are planning to do another reality show with Ryan Seacrest’s production company, following their first reality show “Ice Loves Coco” after three seasons. And we can't front, we actually like it.  Would you watch?

In New York....

 photo camo2.jpg

After a quite eventful day, Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian West -- in that sheer Yeezy Adidas body suit he just presented at his fashion show -- took a moment to enjoy dinner at Italian restaurant Carbone in NYC. The twosome, likely tired,  hit up several events kicking off New York Fashion Week and All-Star Weekend.

 photo camo1.jpg

Kanye was the man of the hour as he unveiled his YEEZY 750 BOOST sneakers, in collaboration with Adidas Originals, with plenty of YBF celebs in attendance including Beyonce, Jay Z, Diddy, Russell Simmons and more.

Afterwards, The Wests chatted up Andre Leon Talley for Vogue.com, and they ran through the latest headlines. Kanye revealed that Taylor Swift was actually supposed to attend his show, but he's not sure what happened.

Then, Yeezy hit the stage for the first annual Roc City Classic concert ripping the stage with his G.O.O.D. artists 2 Chainz, Big Sean and Pusha T.

Following his set, he trekked it to Madison Square Garden to hit the stage alongside Diddy at “The Tip-Off” concert, which brought out a slew of YBF celebs. Peep all of the performancesHERE.
 

Also in NYC....

Terrence Howard and his about six-months pregnant wife Miranda were spotted leaving their hotel downtown in NYC yesterday.

 photo camo5.jpg

The "EMPIRE" star, spotted leaving the Trump Soho, recently revealed on the "Live With Kelly & Michael Show" he and his wife will be expecting a baby boy this May! Not only that, he welcomed a new grandson last week named Adrian. He said,

“My oldest daughter gave me a granddaughter two years ago and now I’ve got a grandson, Adrian, a week ago. It’s something else to become apart of something bigger than yourself. And then my wife, we’re due in May and I’m having another boy”.

Major congrats to him and his fam!  And on the super hit that is Fox's "Empire".

Gabrielle Union Throws Shade About Dwyane Wade's First "Popeye's" Wedding + Ciara Explains Talking About Future On New Album

Gabby Union is talking about her and Dwyane Wade's fairytale wedding...and that pre-nup.  And she threw some shade at her husband's FIRST wedding.  Check it inside, plus Ciara's explanation about why her ex Future is mentioned in her new music...  

Gabby Union hit up the Prada Iconoclasts event last night with her husband Dwyane Wade for NYFW, pictured above.  But before she arrived in NYC, she stopped by Access Hollywood to chat about her wedding--which had zebras and monkeys at Gabby's request--and pre-nup.

And...she ended up throwing a little shade and we're not even sure she noticed herself.

"It was a fairytale and a dream come true and everyone thought it was my doing. And I was like, I got nothing. Were both on our second marriages and second weddings. His first wedding was in a church basement with a bucket of Popeye's chicken. So he just wanted the fairytale. He anted the dream. He he would stop at nothing and spared no expense to make sure he had the dream wedding for us."

He did mention that Popeye's in his recent book.

As for why SHE asked for a pre-nup when her husband reportedly makes significantly more money?

"In the first marriage, I lost a lot of money to someone who was not necessarily supportive.  'You weren't in the gym shooting with me' or whatever, you weren't on set, you weren't learning my lines, you weren't getting up early with me.  And when it came time to end, I had to give up a lot of money.  And it really made the love feel very conditional.  I never wanted to have that feeling again.  And I would never want anyone else to feel the love wa conditional based on stuff.

I got my stuff, you got your stuff, you've got your career, I've got my career.  Now let's take that off the table and build something together."

Well there you have it.  Check out the video below:

 

 photo CiaraAmericanHeartAssociationGoRedWomenR9zkVZMR8YRl_zps95e8440b.jpg

Meanwhile, Ciara is talking about her ex and baby's father, rapper Future.

Now that the singer is putting her feelings about the breakup and other changes in her life on wax, she's telling the world how motherhood and heartbreak has changed her.  Her upcoming album, Jackie (named after her mother), is her most personal yet.  She recently told HipHollywood.com about why she opened up about her ex on the new single "I Bet".

"I just feel so many different things now with life and as a woman.  I feel a whole different confidence and I feel a need to express.  I think we need realness ... it's important to me that I get to express myself exactly how I want to as an artist."

Express away CiCi....

Amber Rose Says She's NOT A Black Woman, HATES Anal Sex + HINTS At James Harden Being Her Valentine, Throws SHADE At Tyga & The Kardashians

 photo ambersdvdfvvfd.png

Amber Rose swung by Hot 97 where she dished on her divorce from Wiz Khalifa, revealed why she only dates celebrities and disclosed that she's not a fan of anal.  TM!?  Well she also made it clear she doesn't consider herself a black woman.  Listen to the interviews inside and check out her Kim Kardashian impression...

 

Since hooking up with Nick Cannon (as a manager...not lover) Amber Rose's career is on the upswing.  In the past week, we've learned that she's set to appear on the Comedy Central series "Inside Amy Schumer", landed a lead role in forthcoming movie Sister Code starring Drew Sidora and Eva Marcille and she's going to be in Zoolander 2. And the week's not over yet!

Today, she appeared on Hot 97 where she dished about her divorce from Hip Hop star Wiz Khalifa, talked about why she only dates celebs, revealed how she likes to get down in the bathroom and shut down rumors about plastic surgery.  Here are the highlights:

On the split with Wiz Khalifa:

I sat in the house and cried for 4 months. Every day. When I woke up. Went to bed. Cried and cried. Wiz was the love of my life and he broke my heart.

On calling her family "racist" during the OWN docuseries Light Girls:

“Let me make this very clear, because the White side of my family got really mad at me. My dad is White. It was not the White side of my family. They’re not racists at all.  [It was] the Cape Verdean side of my family… not my entire side of the family. I’m talking about the old heads.”

On why she only dates celebs:

"I personally feel like I don’t want to date a regular guy, because a regular guy is not fully gonna understand my life."

On being a role model:

"I have women, they come up to me and they cry….These girls really do feel repressed by their men, their families. They're a mom. They can’t be sexy…They hafta wear a cardigan and be covered up"

On sex and bedroom skills:

"Not just on top. It’s gonna be all over the room. It’s gonna be everywhere. It’s gonna be passionate. It’s gonna be a lot of kissing. I talk that talk. I don’t want nothing in my a**. That’s the only thing I don’t want. Other than that, it’s all good."

On race and being bi-racial:

"I do not consider myself a black woman. Absolutely not….Bi-racial. I embrace everything that I am, I don’t feel like I’m more one thing, than the other."

On denying plastic surgery:

"I’ve seen the before and after photos that you’re referring to. And I’ll tell you, the before pictures — I was a buck, twenty (120). I’m a buck, sixty now (160)….I don’t have implants. My body is bigger….I did not get plastic surgery…It’s been two years. I’ve been tryna work on my body and do it the natural way."

Why she twerked on Chris Brown at the club:

"Being petty cuz I was hurt over my husband.  My husband has been out with 50 different women, pulling sweaty white bitches out the club. And all these other girls. And not only was I in the house crying every day mourning my husband. I had to see that….And I’m in the house."

Damn!
 

 

Wait....she's not done talking...

Amber also stopped by the Breakfast Club were she dropped a few more "gems".  During this interview, we learned that she's crushing on NBA stat James Harden, thinks Tyga dating Kylie is disgusting and she didn't mind when Dwyane Wade followed her on Instagram.  But the best shade is reserved for her ex Kanye's new wife Kim Kardashian...and it comes with impressions!

On Houston Rockets player James Harden being her "Bae" (15:41): "Me and James have a very "special" friendship for sure."  She added, "I didn't get the "D" yet.

On Tyga (her best friend Blac Chyna's ex) dating Kylie (27:12):  "She's a baby. She needs to go to bed at 7 o'clock. Have a glass of milk. That's ridiculous. He should be ashamed of himself.  He has a beautiful woman (Blac Chyna) and a baby and left that for a 16-year-old who just turned 17. Like naw...."

On Kim Kardashian:  Outside of her cheating with Kanye (which she says @11:47), Amber thinks Kim is fake and her selfies are contrived. Then she launches into a full-on impression of Kim talking a selfie of her bosom.

On Dwyane Wade (17:56): She said she's not surprised that Dwyane Wade followed her (then unfollowed her) on Instagram because she posts pretty pictures.  

 

Oh.  Gotta love that Amber....

“The Real” co-host Loni Love was brought to tears as she thanked her co-workers for helping her to accept her body image. Also, Vivicia A. Fox stopped by where she went in on her former “Celebrity Apprentice” co-star. Get the deets inside….

On an upcoming episode of “The Real”, the ladies discuss body image and how there are different sizes of healthy and different forms of beauty. During their chat, fab chick and comedian Loni Love got emotional while thanking her co-workers for their support and how they all have all made her feel good about her body type. She revealed that it sometimes gets hard to deal with public always comparing her to her co-hosts, but it feels amazing when fans send her encouraging tweets.

Below is the convo:

Loni Love: These ladies make me feel really at home and welcome about my body. They don’t tease me.

Tamera Mowry: Well you’re beautiful!

Tamar Braxton: Tease you for what?! You look amazing!

Loni Love: I don’t feel good about myself, so thank you! (Starts Crying)

Adrienne Bailon: You’re gorgeous!

Jeannie Mai: If anything, we molest you! We like touch you too much!

Tamera Mowry: Yes, absolutely!

Marci: Well that’s hard because you’re comparing yourself to people, I can only imagine. You know?

Loni Love: Well no, the public compares me, they don’t (refers to co-hosts). And it’s amazing and I want to thank the fans out there because they send me tweets. They say I look good!

Aww...peep the clip below:

"Celebrity Apprentice" star Vivica A. Fox has been making her media rounds and for her latest stop, she sat down with the ladies on "The Real" to chop it up about her nemesis "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore. Aunt Viv had plenty of shade to throw at the former Miss USA, but with good reason.

 photo rre3.jpg

The Sharknado 2 star explained exactly how Kenya hacked her phone and why doesn't have any respect for her.

Vivica explained how during a taping of "Celebrity Apprentice", she was pulled away for an interview when Kenya picked up her phone (that did not have a lock code) and posted tweets from her Twitter account. She said had Kenya just fessed up to it, they could have moved forward.  But since she couldn't be a woman enough to admit her wrong doing, she doesn't want anything to do with her. THEN, she said after Kenya startedbashing her in interviews, she was completely over her.

Below are the highlights:

Adrienne Bailon: Well girl, you and Kenya’s beef on this season of “Celebrity Apprentice” has everyone talking and it’s made the phrase “toxic trick” epic! Where do you guys stand? You know right now, post phone-gate?

Tamar Braxton: Bye trick! Bye trick! Here for that!

Vivica A. Fox: Well, you know to be very honest with you there is absolutely no communications with Kenya going on for the simple fact that I wish she would take responsibility for her actions...

Tamar Braxton: For stealing your phone!?

Vivica A. Fox: Yes, and costing me 600 dollars! And umm, so I just want to make things clear to everyone 'cause a lot of people say, “Well, how did she get into your phone?” I’m used to being around people that I can trust and I did not have a lock on my phone. So they rush me out for an interview and I left my phone. She picked it up and preceded to hack into my Twitter account and behave just like the snake in the grass she’s proven herself to be. And if she would have came to me and said, “Hey Viv, I got caught up. I got caught up and I apologize,” we would have been able to move forward. But then she went on a campaign to assassinate my character, my legitimate career, and it was uh very disappointing.

Tamar Braxton: You the queen of read honey!

Vivica A. Fox: Okay, right! I just didn’t appreciate that. I’ve worked very hard for years!

Adrienne Bailon: Yes and so successful!

Vivica A. Fox: I’ve done the work! I haven’t had to go from scandal to scandal to remain relevant!

Bloop!

Yeezy joined Drizzy on stage to perform club banger “I Don’t Like (Remix)”. After Ye exited stage left, Drake did a brief cover of Ye’s “FourFiveSeconds” (which features Rihanna and Paul McCartney) and his tribute track to North West, “Only One”.

Before he began his covers, Drizzy praised Kanye as one of the greatest artists in life. He said, "Kanye West, that's like a mentor to me. He's one of the greatest artists. Period, in life. He's got this song I really like."

The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game went down last night with Keke Palmer kicking things off with a performance of the National Anthem. Afterwards, Kevin Hart brought the laughs during the game with his usual antics. BUT, he wasn’t laughing when Little League star Mo'ne Davis spun past him for a layup. Yes…a 13-year-old checked Kevin in the paint.

Deets & videos inside….

Last night, the NBA All-Star Celebrity game went down at Madison Square Garden as apart of the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities.

Before tip-off, ESPN analyst Stuart Scott, who lost his battle with cancer in January, was honored during one of his favorite events during All-Star weekend. A special tribute was held, bringing his daughters Sydni and Taelor to the court, gifting them a ceremonial game ball signed with personal notes thanking them for attending. So sweet.

Following the tribute, Keke Palmer took center court to belt out the National Anthem. And she nailed it.

The YBF chick (above before the game) has been enjoying some free time lately after her Broadway stint as the first African-American Cinderella ended last month. But, she will be back to work soon as she starts filming for the horror tv series “Scream Queens” in the spring.

Peep her performance below:

After the game, Keke hit Up & Down nightclub (where it seems all the celebs were at last night) for some fun (atop).

 

The highlight of the evening, plus a few more....

Talk about embarrassing! Kevin Hart got burnt on the court by 13-year-old Little League World Series star Mo’ne Davis. She wasted NO time to crossover the Wedding Ringer star with a nice spin move before nailing a lay-up during the first half of the game. Ouch! Check it above.

The West team took home the win beating the East team, 59-51. Once the game was over, it was time to announce the MVP. Kevin ended up winning the fan-voted MVP award, which makes 4 MVP awards he has earned over the years. Before getting silly during his acceptance speech, he took a moment to shoutout Stuart Scott and thanked him for his contributions over the years.

Then said, "It's my fourth MVP. It’s an emotional moment. I think I’m going to go out on top. I’m announcing my retirement from the Celebrity Basketball game as a four-time MVP. At this point, I can’t do no more.”

Check the hilariousness below:

Ha!

And on the injured reserve list...

"Grey's Anatomy" star Jesse Williams suffered what appeared to be knee injury in the last five minutes of the game. Thankfully, he's ok. He posted the picture above with the caption, "I'm okay. I'm just old #AndSeriouslyInjured #MidThirtiesIsNotMidTwenties #DidWeWin?"

Glad he's ok!
